To sustain its momentum, Faurecia North America grows into a
new headquarters in Auburn Hills

AUBURN HILLS, MI--April 2, 2013: Three years into a remarkable
surge in growth, Faurecia North America today announced more details of its
plans for a new headquarters building in Auburn
Hills, Mich., at the hub of activity for southeast Michigan's auto industry.

Since 2010, Faurecia--North America's eighth-largest
automotive supplier and the sixth-largest globally--has opened
15 new plants and tech centers in the U.S., Mexico and Canada and has nearly doubled the size of its
workforce to more than 20,000. The region now accounts for 30% of
Faurecia's global sales. In Michigan, that
growth has taken the form of six new locations since 2010 and a total of 13
sites that collectively employ more than 4,000 people. Its success has led
Faurecia North America to begin construction this month on a new
headquarters building that also will house technical centers for Faurecia
Automotive Seating and Faurecia Automotive Exteriors.

"As the auto industry has reinvented itself over the past few years,
Faurecia has been a notable success story," said Faurecia North America
President Mike Heneka. "We have grown
substantially and now we are ready to extend our technical centers and
headquarters operations to further support that growth. Our new location
presents a distinctive opportunity to build from the ground up in a way
that most suits our needs and to centralize our technical teams and
administrative functions."

The new headquarters facility, at 2800 High Meadow Circle in Oakland
Technology Park near I-75 and University Drive, positions Faurecia North
America in a more highly visible, easily accessible, more spacious location
that is tailored to its needs. Upon the building's completion in the spring
of 2014, up to 700 employees will be transferred to the building from three
smaller Michigan facilities: the current
Faurecia Automotive Seating Technical Center on Meijer Drive in Troy;
Faurecia's Oakland Shared Services Center on Squirrel Road in Auburn Hills; and its Oakland Technical Center
for Automotive Exteriors on W. Entrance Drive in Auburn Hills. The Faurecia Interior Systems
Technical Center will remain at its current location at 2500 Executive
Hills Blvd in Auburn Hills. Faurecia
Emissions Control Technologies will continue to be based in Columbus, Ind.

The technical centers in the new facility will carry out prototype
development, testing and light assembly activities to further Faurecia
North America's commitment to pioneering advanced vehicle systems to meet
the auto industry's evolving needs.

"Faurecia has called Auburn Hills its
home for 10 years, and we enjoy an excellent relationship with the city's
leadership team," Heneka said. "They have been a strong partner in the
momentum we have generated, and we are pleased to be expanding our presence
in the city."

The layout of the new building will be more conducive to team work than
were Faurecia's other facilities and will enable program teams to sit
together. Shop and testing areas will be upgraded and organized for
improved efficiency, and considerably more meeting space will be available.
The 278,000 square foot building will include a new showroom, dedicated
innovation areas, numerous conferences spaces, a larger break room and
plentiful parking for employees and visitors.

"Auburn Hills is thrilled to add
Faurecia's North American headquarters to our roster of leading national
and international manufacturers headquartered here," said Pete Auger, Auburn
Hills City Manager. "Companies like Faurecia are terrific corporate
citizens and bring tremendous value to Auburn
Hills, solidifying our reputation as the premier global
manufacturing address in the Midwest."

Faurecia's newest location will be developed and constructed by General
Development Company, LLC, of Southfield,
Mich.
